Some Encouragement

We have to confess that we have had a tough week. We have been feeling like we are standing in the dark or walking through a desert. We had a great 10 day vacation camping along the coast. It was good for us to escape the disappointments of our delay and to not think about our support...or lack of. But when we came back home, it hit us hard again. We started to feel overwhelmed with doubts about what God is doing (or semingly not doing) in our lives.

Then God sent some encouragement. Sunday morning we were challenged from God's Word and reminded Jesus calls us to come and rest, I cried tears of release and surrender singing worship songs, and we were blessed by church friends who warmly expressed concern for us, affirmed we were a vital part of that church body and voiced their affirmation for the vision we have to be a part of missions worldwide.

Isn't God good? Just when we need a little lift, He uses His wonderful church body to remind us of His ever present hand in our lives!
